Two Battle Creek locations will be participating this year: BC Comix of Battle Creek, at 669 Capital Ave. SW, and Discount Hobby, at 5700 Beckley Road.

This year's Free Comic Book Day is the 17th one held. Participating comic book stores across the nation and around the world give away comic books that publishers have provided for free.

There are 50 different comics in this year's lineup, featuring the Avengers, Miraculous Ladybug, DC Superhero Girls, Star Wars and more. The number of comic books each customer is allowed to take will differ from store to store.
